There is no need to remove the entire assembly. Drop the pan cut the chain with a pair of bolt cutters, re-install the cover plate because one of the bolts holds back oil pressure and your done. Keep the entire assembly mounted in place and you have no oil pressure issues or oil sloshing either. Oil capacity does no increase either. This works without a problem on both n/a and SRT 2.4 engines. The SRT is a little more of a pain with dropping the charging pipes and what not but if you have a couple of hours to burn do it.
